Our take on the Canon PowerShot SX620 HS
by Crutchfield's Eric Angevine

The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS is small enough to throw in a backpack. When you grab it and make use of its 25X optical zoom range, you'll find you can capture sharp close-ups of distant subjects. Sure, a smartphone can deliver a small amount of digital zoom. But it also degrades the quality of your photos, leaving you with grainy images that lack clarity. With the SX620, you'll get outstanding image quality across the zoom range, from a wide-angle landscape to a tight close-up of your kid at graduation.

The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS is small enough to go anywhere, and it packs an amazing 25X optical zoom so you can get closer to the action.

Lots of zoom from a little camera

The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS is small enough to throw in a backpack. When you grab it and make use of its 25X optical zoom range, you'll find you can capture sharp close-ups of distant subjects.

With the SX620, you'll get outstanding image quality across the zoom range, from a wide-angle landscape to a tight close-up of your kid at graduation.

Quick and easy photo sharing via Wi-Fi®

Thanks to the PowerShot SX620's built in Wi-Fi, it's a snap to wirelessly transfer images from the camera to your smartphone or tablet. Canon's free app for Apple® and Android™ even lets you use your smartphone as a remote, so you can set up the camera on a tripod and use the phone as a monitor and shutter release device. Pretty cool, especially when you consider the image quality and dependable low-light performance this camera offers over smartphone cameras. If you're an Android user, the SX620 offers quick and easy touch pairing via NFC, as well.

can also add a variety of effects to images while shooting, including: Super
Vivid, Poster Effect, Fisheye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera, and Monochrome.

Hybrid Auto: Lets you make a short movie of the day
just by shooting images. The camera records 2-4 second clips of scenes

each time you press the shutter release, applying special effects and
recomposing the shot. The images are managed together as a group.

Movies: Using the dedicated Movie Record button, you
can record movies in High Definition or Standard
Definition.

Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:

Evaluative
Light Metering: used for standard
conditions. The area within the frame is divided into several zones and
light is measured based on subject position, brightness, direct light and
backlighting.

Center-Weighted
Averaging: averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more
weight on the subject at the center

Spot: meters
the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor or
viewfinder.

Exposure Compensation:
If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may
need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You
can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments.

White Balance: You
can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy,
Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, and Custom.

Flash Modes: The PowerShot SX620 HS has a built-in
pop-up flash.
You can select Auto (flash fires in low light),
Slow-synchro, On (flash always fires), or Off (flash doesn't fire). The
built-in flash has a range of 1.6' to 13' in Wide Angle and 3.3' to 6.6' in
Telephoto. In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp for the
flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken.

ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set Automatically (ISO
Auto), or manually ISO 80 to ISO 3200 in 1 EV steps. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a
greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions.
Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred
images. The images, however, will appear more coarse.

My Colors: You
can choose the look and feel of the photos you take by using My Colors to add
the following effects to the image you are currently recording or have already
recorded: Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, B/W, Positive Film, Lighter Skin Tone, Darker
Skin Tone, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, and Custom Color.

Self-Timer: The SX620 HS utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and
a custom self-timer to allow
the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using
a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots.

Playback,
Editing and Print Functions

Index Display:
This feature allows you to view 6, 12, 36, or 100 images at once on the LCD monitor so that
you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played in the index
playback mode. You can view the index display by rotating the zoom lever toward wide angle while the camera is in playback
mode.

Filtered Playback: When there are many images on the memory
card, you can filter and display them by a specified filter. You can also
protect or delete all images at once while filtered. Available filters include:

Shooting Display Options: You can choose to display your
photos on the LCD monitor and the viewfinder with and without shooting
information. Display options include Histogram, Overexposure
Warning, GPS Information, or no Information.

Red-Eye Correction:
You can correct red eyes in already recorded images. However, red eyes may not
be automatically detected in some images such as faces near the screen edge,
faces that appear extremely small, larger dark or bright in relation to the
overall image and faces turned to the side or at a diagonal and faces with a
portion hidden which prevents the Red-Eye Correction from working. You can
choose to overwrite the file with the corrected image, or store the image as a
new file, retaining the original image.

Customer Q&A

Crutchfield askedWhy did you buy this?

My experience is that Canon is the best value for performance, intuitive user controls, and price. Happy to see Crutchfield offer a few "sweetners" (memory chip, cleaning cloth, etc) to remain cost competitive with other vendors. Free delivery within one week of Xmas is fantastic. Thanks Crutchfield!
[ Robert Dec 20, 2017 ]

Good gift for my brother -who doesn't need all the bells and whistles - just the basics with a good 25X zoom.
[ Sherwyn Sep 15, 2017 ]

I need a good zoom lens, a camera for my pocket, light weight and well reviewed. This one has all that and a low price.
[ Timothy Mar 25, 2018 ]

Easily could have went to bestbuy, but with Crutchfield's excellent service, quick shipping, and how well they have done me in the past it was the first place I looked for a Christmas camera (gift) for my wife. Will always continue to do business with Crutchfield.
[ JUVAN Dec 21, 2017 ]

I had one similar to this camera before and found the features easy to use, the camera physically was of good quality, and the camera also took excellent photos even in low light conditions.
